Question

What is the next number in the sequence: $77,49,36,18...$?

Answer 1

Find the next number in the sequence: $77,49,36,18...$

The given sequence is $77,49,36,18...$

Multiply the digits of the current term to get the next term.

First-term is $77$, multiply the digits of $77$ to get the next term.

$49=7\times 7$

Proceed as above:

$$\begin{gathered} 36=4\times 9 \\ 18=3\times 6 \end{gathered}$$

So, the next term after $18$ will be:

$1\times 8=8$

Hence, the next term after $18$ is $8$.
